Where City Charm Meets Architectural Style

If you’re reading this article, I know you love architecture. You’re the person walking just a little bit slower than everyone else on the sidewalk because you have to take in every detail of a Modernist museum façade. You have a stack of books about Frank Lloyd Wright stacked next to your bed.

It doesn’t take much to appreciate architecture on the most basic scale—we all live and work in buildings day in and day out. But you see the intricacies and nuances that make architecture an art, the way a true baseball fanatic faithfully records each stat during a game to later scrutinize and obsess over. That’s you with architecture.

Just for you, Conde Nast Traveler’s Benita Hussain curated a list of 14 top cities to view beloved architectural styles such as Art Deco in Miami; Bauhaus in Tel Aviv, Israel; and green architecture in Portland, Ore. See why these and the other 11 cities made the list on the MSNBC website. Time for an arch-inspired vacation.
